Pierre Guillaume Paris Un Crime Exotique 12.1 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006, created by Pierre Guillaume. Un Crime Exotique 12.1 opens with Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Star Anise, settles into a heart of Mate, Gingerbread, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tea. Pierre Guillaume Paris's Un Crime Exotique 12.1 carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A truly divisive scent: some find Un Crime Exotique a photorealistic, cosy chai tea perfection, while others struggle with its intensity, finding it too sweet, too much like a Christmas candle, or even a 'crime' against their senses. Expect strong opinions - good and bad.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

This scent's strong projection and gourmand profile make it less suitable for professional office settings. However, its warmth and comforting feel are perfect for a cosy date night or casual autumnal outings. It leans too informal for high-stakes formal events and is entirely unsuitable for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Un Crime Exotique opens with a bold, spicy hit of cardamom, cinnamon, and star anise, evoking a warm, inviting embrace. As it develops, gingerbread and mate notes create a gourmand heart, reminiscent of a freshly baked, spiced treat. The drydown settles into a comforting base of smooth vanilla, creamy sandalwood, and a subtle tea accord, maintaining that cosy, spiced warmth throughout.
